And so it begins

The dream is in motion, it’s happening right now. I’ve wanted this for so long and here we are, on the precipice of a life-changing adventure. Everything that I carry is all I will have for the next 5+ months. We’re on the doorstep of destiny and I’m stoked to step into this escapade. The anticipation is exhilarating. Thrilling. Invigorating. Wildly nerve-wracking. But so stoke-worthy, so necessary for an adventure of this amplitude. There’s been so many moments over the past few weeks where I’ve had to stop to take in the lasts. The moments that are ending to step into the firsts of this next great adventure. Times where I’ve needed to stand still to breathe in the finality of the space I am leaving. Whatever happens over the next few months, I will come back changed. Softened in some ways, chiseled, worn, and hardened in others. I’m pumped about mindset shifts and perspective changes. I want to come out of this experience better, stronger, and wiser. So here we go. One step at a time into the grand unknown.
